Abstract

<p>The specific medical practices training system, established by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, Japan (MHLW) in October 2015, provides nurses with advanced and specialized knowledge and skills training based on the clinical procedure manuals prepared by physicians and dentists. As of March 2022, 4,832 nurses had completed the training, a number that is much lower than the MHLW's target. This study used an online questionnaire survey to investigate the factors related to the introduction and placement in hospitals of nurses trained in specific medical practices. The survey was sent to a total of 1,436 nursing directors nationwide across all hospitals with 300 or more beds; 412 responses were received (28.7% response rate). Among these, 252 (61.4%) hospitals had nurses who had completed the training. The introduction and placement of trained nurses into these hospitals was related to the following factors. Facility factors included having a large number of beds and being designated as training institutions. Factors related to the nursing managers' characteristics included the presence of a nursing manager who was a Certified Nurse Manager, who expected the training to promote collaborative practice, and who perceived that the training system could have a positive impact on patient care and nursing.</p>
